Opteron Dodeca Core 6234 is a 12-Core Server CPU part of the Opteron 6200 Series released by AMD in 2011/2012. Each Core is clocked at 2.4 and features one thread, making a total of 12. Obviously not designed for gaming, due to its tremendous price, it will deliver great performance for those crazy enough to use for extreme gaming performance.

this is a server cpu, not really intended for games. it is made to do great work with server associated work, at decent power usage. this is only @ 2,4 Ghz, and fx is at 4 (!). also, this one has one thread per core, while the fx have 2 i think. many games do not utilize the use of many cores or many threads.

A twelve-core (server) CPU!Question: For games that don't really utilize more than 1 core, wouldn't such a processor (or any similar), due to its low speeds, be worse than, eg phenom ii 965be or i5 3470?
